Things that Eric A.

There are some episodes of the Simpsons that I have seen over a dozen times now, and many which I have never witnessed. 300-odd shows? Closer to 30.

Such as StarShip Troopers as of late, I keep catching the movie 20 mins in. Not the worlds greatest movie, but I keep getting sucked into it … although my wife hates it!

The only times I ever turned on the TV when that irritating so-called comedian and his tedious friends were going through their motions, that would be the episode I’d see – and then I’d switch off and go and read blogs.

I couldn’t even count the number of times i’ve seen the enterprise crew turned into children, or the episode where they get trapped in the time loop and keep exploding. I’m prety sure they only show the same 5 episodes over and over.

Never failed to cheer me up.

I have also always called this “deja-view.” I guess it’s the obvious term.

Tue, 03 May 2005 15:37:44 +0000http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2005/05/02/thrown-for-a-loop/#comment-5584I understand that this happens, and it does happen to me for some shows, but never for Stargate. I have tried to see the episode that loops for you, but I never manage to catch it. So far, I’ve never seen it. Seems to be the one I’ll never catch no matter how hard I try. And my spouse refuses to get a Tivo because he doesn’t like the idea of a subscription service. But he forgot to record Stargate for me! Arrrgh.

Tue, 03 May 2005 13:46:08 +0000http://meyerweb.com/eric/thoughts/2005/05/02/thrown-for-a-loop/#comment-5580Yup, that happens to me a lot, too. In fact, I made up a Sniglet for that: “deja view”. You do remember Sniglets, don’t you? I’ll date myself by also volunteering that I made that one up back when Sniglets were still pretty new (my high-school years: mid-80s).
